The Union Mission’s Bashford Men’s Shelter and our Women’s Shelter are dedicated to helping people overcome their homelessness and giving them a chance to start again. By first providing for their physical needs, we can then provide job- and life-skills training, mental health services, emotional counseling, and spiritual support. But to transform lives forever, we need your help!
